This is good news for the WikiLeaks founder and his family, but pundits fear a dangerous precedent has been set.
This is good news for the WikiLeaks founder and his family, but pundits fear a dangerous precedent has been set.
Julian Assange’s wife Stella said U.S. should “read the room” and drop the case
The WikiLeaks founder can pursue his appeal so long as the U.S. fails to give assurances.
Few may be surprised to learn that the British Conservative Party has not been a serious friend of the WikiLeaks founder.
“Julian did nothing wrong. He has committed no crime and is not a criminal. He is a journalist and a publisher, and he is being punished for doing his job,” his wife Stella said.
The Wikileaks founder—presently incarcerated in the UK—is wanted by U.S. authorities for having published thousands of classified documents between 2010 and 2011. If convicted, he faces a 175-year prison term.
Stella Moris, Assange’s fiancé called the High Court ruling a victory but said that “we are far from achieving justice in this case.”
